DISPATCH: PARIS 2

DISPATCH: PARIS
AS REPORTED BY CATOR SPARKS

There were a lot of first for me...

It was a great pleasure to meet über bear daddy Walter Van Beirendonck
and check out his new collection inspired by tubes, (ahem).

I previewed the new Façonnable collection shot live by Helena Christensen.

I sat on a Japanese Toto toilet at Colette. Toto, has hired Tyler Brûlé
as their marketing person. Woosh!

I took in my first Hermes show. Or was it Zara?

I shook it down to the ground at Regine’s for the Pony Step party.

Why don’t we have something like that in New York? Sigh.

Finally, I saw the first sign of Valentines Day in the City of Love-
a cactus shaped like a heart. Love hurts. How French.
